Is switching off the router for a minute the same as resetting?

Will just switching off change the IP address

You'll be best leaving it off for at least 30 minutes for a new IP address. 

Resetting is actioned by holding the reset pin for 30 seconds. That will reset back the all the default settings

Thanks, that really helps.

I don't really want everything reset so am reticent to hold down the reset button... but do need a new IP address. 

By switching off as you suggest only refresh the IP address and not affect anything else? 

Your help appreciated...

Turning it off at the wall for at least 30 mins should give a new IP address (if you can, leave it for 60 mins). It won't change the settings though (SSID, Wi-Fi password etc)

Thank you very much.
